Kevin Hart: Mike Tyson Was a Pit Bull With No Leash!

Last time I felt that was the Tyson documentary. That was strong. That was strong. Dude, there's a time when he's talking about walking into the ring, as he steps in the ring, all the nervousness, all the things he's going through, and that as his confidence builds as he gets towards the ring and he steps through the ropes, I'm a god. When he says that, I'm like, holy shit, my books and pumps are popping up. I was like, oh my god. That's the Dos Equis man to me. That's the Dos Equis man to me. It's crazy he's fighting again. That is the Dos Equis man to me, the most interesting man in America. That Mike Tyson is that. There are so many different levels and pieces of death to Mike Tyson in his story. It's one of the strongest docs I've ever seen. He's one of those guys, one of those super winners that just, I mean, when he was young, I mean, everyone knows the story, but if you don't, he basically had no love in his life until he met Customado. Customado became a father figure, but also Customado was a hypnotist and a psychologist in a lot of ways and a fantastic boxing coach as well, and took this young kid and showed him that you're going to get love from accomplishment and you're going to conquer and you're going to become the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. Through his tutelage, up until the moment that he died, Mike Tyson was just a phenom, a thing that we had never seen before. He was the pit bull with no leash that respected one person. Yes. Nobody else at any given time feared to fuck out of this pit bull because nobody else knew, hey man, who's, what is, hey, somebody got to get this, hey, who, what, what is this with? Who, who? Until this day, if I see Mike, there's a little nervousness for no reason. For sure. It's not like he's coming in with this thing, like I'm killing everybody. No, but there's a, he's a most loving man in the world. You talk to him, he's all spoken, but there's still a little thing like, is Mike going to hit me? My friend, Kevin Lee said it best. Kevin Lee fights for the UFC. He said that when he's sitting next to him, he goes, he goes, that's a lion. He goes, I'm sitting next to him like, is that Mike Tyson? He was like, that's a lion. He's like, he's sitting next to him like, okay. I hope he makes cool. Oh my God. And you know, this, this fight, man, I just, you know, wish him the best. I know he's back to training and stuff. You know, you just want him to be safe and healthy in his time. But you know, that's the man I don't ever count out, but God damn seeing him just put up those little displays of terrifying fight. It's what is he's seeking missiles coming from his shoulders. Well, not only that, he wasn't doing anything like a year ago when I had him in here for the podcast, he said he didn't want to stoke his ego. He didn't want to work out. He goes, cause if I work out, my ego fires up. There he is. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this shit here. But you know, that's, that's interesting, but that's just shadow boxing. What was crazy is he's training with a half a Cordero who's one of the best MMA trainers, one of the best striking trainers in the world. He came from a legendary camp out of Brazil, Curitiba, Brazil called shoot the box. It's like the legendary team of marauders from Brazil. They were like the golden glory days of pride. Was a, you know, a competitor to the UFC was defined in a lot of ways. The glory days are defined by this one team from Brazil that half ill Cordero was a part of. And then that guy training Mike Tyson and he's been super successful training mixed martial arts fighters too. But I found it very interesting that Mike chose to train with that guy and to see the way they're going at it. I mean, he's not boxing. He's trying to destroy motherfuckers. Listen, you, you, I respect the trainer. I respect the trainer for standing in that, in the way of that shit. Like that's the one, one, one accidental. Oops. Missiles. Just missiles. No. Right. Listen, boom, boom. You got to just, you got to just bow down. And you know what, man, that's, we're still in the presence of greatness. And as people, I don't, I don't think we should ever forget that. Well, what's crazy is he's 53 years old. He's doing this and he's only been doing this again for like less than a year. So it's only been like four or five months. He's really been training hard and everything's just coming back. It's I mean, I wonder, I wonder what it is. I wonder if it just was bored. I mean, I really want, this is, this is the crazy shit. Jesus Christ. I mean, that's Christ. If you saw that guy, if you saw that guy training and he was a 22 year old kid, you're like, man, this motherfucker is going to be something because he's just got an intensity. That you rarely see from any fighter. There's a fury that burns inside of him that you can't manufacture that. You either have that or you don't. And he found a way to reignite it. I was, I swear you beat me to it. You beat me to it.
